Doubt anyone in this thread knows the game but Steambot Chronicles 2
>hidden gem on PS2, by IREM, very satisfying gameplay, story, and depth, but production value could use much improving
>sequel being developed
>IREM, decides to exit console gaming and go back to Pachinko, Steambot Chronicles 2 and Disaster Report 4 canceled
>Kazuma Kujo, the main creative guy for it, leaves and starts new company, Granzella
>buys the IP to Disaster Report 4 and releases it
>attempts to buy Steambot Chronicles but couldnt afford it
>both the OG Steambot Chronicles and Steambot Chorincles 2 remains lost to time

Very sad.
